Trivial Pursuit games are now available in 19 languages and 33 countries. They can also be played on the Internet and in a handheld electronic version. New editions of the game cards are constantly under development.

Time magazine called Trivial Pursuit the "the biggest phenomenon in game history."

In December 1993, Trivial Pursuit was named to the "Games Hall of Fame" by Games magazine.

The game board is divided into squares arranged in a 6-spoked wheel shape. Each square is colored, with one special square of each color situated at the connection of the "wheel" with each spoke respectively.

The players start in the "hub" of the wheel or centre of the board . The players take turns to roll the dice and move their tokens in the direction of their choice the number of squares indicated by the dice. Once the dice lands, another player draws a card from a large selection and asks the rolling player a question from the card corresponding to the color. If the player answers correctly, he or she can roll again. If the square is one of the special squares located at an intersection, the player is also awarded a "scoring wedge", "cheese" or "pie" representing the color of the square, if they do not already possess that color of wedge. If the player answers incorrectly, play moves to the next player in sequence.

The game continues until a player has collected wedges of all 6 colors, then moves his or her marker back to the hub, at which point the other players select one color and read the question from the corresponding category; the player must answer this final question correctly to win the game. If the player does not do so, the game continues until that player, or another player with all 6 color pies, moves to the hub square and answers a question of the chosen category correctly.

The game can also be a team game where several players are represented by a single piece.
